Pet care experience
MICHES67524 (promo code for $20 off 1st booking) Retired teacher, decades long dog owner, dog foster, and dog sitter opening my home (and yard) to your pup while you are away. I'm experienced with many types of special needs and medications. I have a very large fenced-in yard for outdoor play and a safe neighborhood for walks and exploring. I believe in lots of cuddles, good exercise (for healthy dogs) and positive re-direction. While I do not crate train my dog, I do have a large crate available and I have crate trained foster dogs before. I will nearly always be at home with your pet. There will be very little time when your pet would not be directly supervised by me. I have a very large fenced in yard for play and a built-in playmate, Buddy. I love long walks and couch snuggles. If you prefer your pup NOT be on furniture, I have pup beds and a crate.
Reviews
Our big personality JRT stayed with Michelle for several times and he had a great time. Her big fenced in backyard was a real treat. She sent us regular updates including videos. I highly recommend Michelle.
Michelle was amazing. My dog was so happy staying with her. I received daily updates on how my dog was going, with photos and videos! He came home happy, clean, in good spirits, and well fed. She will treat your dog like her own 💕
Michelle was great with Phoebe. She provided pictures and video updates, and she helped me transition Phoebe to adult food.
Thank you, Michelle! :) You made Louis so happy! 🥰

I have a fenced-in yard for play and can incorporate walks if your pup likes to explore. I tend to attract big rowdy/playful dogs-ha! That said, I host some littles that think they are big and they do just fine. If your pup is very fearful or aggressive, we wouldn’t be a good fit. It’s pretty much a dog party on most days here😃
Home
Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting, I would like to know your pets likes, dislikes, general disposition, and dietary/medical needs. I’d like to know how they get along with other dogs and with humans. I especially need to know if they aggressively resource-guard. I can feed separately but toys, water, couches (and me!) are shared resources.
A typical day
Indoors activities include a rousing game of keep away, snuggling, and lots of belly rubs! Outdoor activities include fetch, tug-a-war, and all those games doggies make up when they play together.

Availability
Pet care is my full-time job and I do occasional contract work from home. I’m nearly always around for a pet, walk, or snuggle. Of course there are errands to run and occasional appointments but most of my time is at home.
